A luxury tote doesn’t have to be a guilty pleasure! Lady Cuir Restoration is a small, woman owned business that repurposes everyday items into unique and affordable designer inspired pieces. The owner, Nicole Di Masi, sources logos from high end vintage handbags, dust bags, and garment bags. She turns them into one of a kind, handmade, up cycled totes that are just as eye-catching as the ones produced by the designers that inspired them
I love Nicole’s back story, which is that she ended up doing leather restoration work because of a stained white Chanel handbag borrowed from her mother. Wh ..read more

About the Dress

Quilted jackets for spring are a classic French girl style hack. They are perfect for in between weather; i.e. when it’s too warm for a heavy winter coat, but not warm enough for a lightweight jacket. Luckily, the dark nylon hunting versions that every good “BCBG” girl wore back in the day (like this and this) are no longer the only options. This pretty floral number from cult fave Isabel Marant (on sale here) is a fresh, boho take on what would otherwise be a rather boring, albeit practical, wardrobe piece.
Quilted jackets are staples in the designer’s fall and winter collections (see simil ..read more
